What strengths does a person employ to deal effectively with life? This handbook provides a forum for a more positive view of the human condition.
Rick Snyder è stato un professore riconosciuto a livello internazionale all'incrocio tra psicologia clinica, sociale, della personalità e della salute. Le sue teorie esploravano come le persone reagiscono al feedback personale, il bisogno umano di unicità e la spinta a scusare le trasgressioni. La sua ricerca più recente si è concentrata sulle motivazioni della speranza e del perdono. Come pioniere del movimento della psicologia positiva, Snyder ha illustrato l'impatto della speranza in vari ambiti della vita, tra cui salute, bambini, spiritualità e lavoro.

Hope has previously been a construct more of interest to philosophy and religion than in psychology. New research has shown, however, that hope is closely related to optimism, feelings of control, and motivation toward achieving one's goals. The Handbook of Hope presents a comprehensive overview of the psychological inquiry into hope, including its measurement, its development in children, how its loss is associated with specific clinical disorders, and therapeutic approaches that can help instill hope in those who have lost theirs. A final section discusses hope in occupational how the use of hope can make one a better coach, teacher, or parent.
The book provides an in-depth exploration of positive psychology, focusing on the science behind positive emotions and human strengths. The authors introduce innovative frameworks that enhance understanding and application of these concepts, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners interested in fostering well-being and personal growth.
